A Giant Comeback, Again…

NEW YORK, NY – Damn Eli. I can never just have a peaceful Sunday with that guy. I wake up thinking:

‘Sure, the Redskins are good, but RG3’s a rookie. No way can he get through Mathias Kiwanuka, Justin Tuck and Antrel Rolle. That’d be like me getting through Holley Mangold. Plus, the Giants offense will put so many points on the board, I won’t even have to think about RG3…’

As I think that, I start having heart palpitations from watching this game. Probably similar to how Lance Armstrong feels when the Anti-Doping Agency makes one of their surprise visits. In fact, I’m pretty sure I was close to pulling a Bobby Knight – throwing my chair. Thankfully the new Burger King commercial came on, informing me that they now have Cinnabon’s. That calming news helped ease a lot of the panic… well that, and seeing Ahmad Bradshaw’s angelic-like personality.

It’s no surprise that that Robert Griffin III is great, and has excellent tastes in socks. The only thing I hate about him is the division he plays in. He’s smart, can get out of the pocket, and doesn’t seem like he’ll have the same great freshman year, yet disastrous sophomore decline like we’re seeing with Cam Newton. Cam Newton’s career is looking uglier than his own sweater he wore to the press conference after the Panthers loss to the Cowboys. Mitt Romneymay not mention Veterans – but I will – and RG3 plays like one.

Panther or Pussy?

By the way, no big deal but this is Eli’s eighth fourth-quarter winning drive in less than 2 season’s. This is definitely an awesome title, but one that gives fans stomach problems, worse than the traffic on Route 3 leaving the game.

Certain things are just going to happen: A-Rod will continue to disappoint us in the postseason (regardless of the team he plays on), Tim Lincecum will never visit a dentist, and Eli Manning will always make me more nervous than even Jim Lehrer  -  when he realizes 1:58 has passed and he needs to get Presidential candidates to stop talking.

The Giants play the Cowboys this week. A win there will not only keep them winning the NFC East, but also secure what most Giants fans love: no losses at Cowboys Stadium. And then finally, the Giants will celebrate like they are the Jets and they just lost in overtime to the Patriots.
